This brand new beach home has been created with an open, light and effusive floor plan that is combined with coastal influences and timeless appeal. A high-taste level design scheme is presented where light finishes blend with tone-on-tone bright neutral color palette mixed with white stone and light tile baths, wire brushed flooring and elegant lighting of clear glass and metal frame. All who enter will enjoy bright and pure materials, an emphasis upon natural light and the sense of calm and crispness such as is found in our coastal environments. With over 1200 Square Feet of usable outdoor decks and porches, the interior spaces spill out into the outdoor environs seamlessly.
